AN Hi everyone. I opened my email today and I almost broke down in tears. I
had only one email from fanfiction. The person saved me from deep
depression and I thank her very much. I know it is a bit late but I was
sick so I was practically lying in bed all the time. Well R&R. And please
don't mean thins time ok.
M*andy, luvin yah - I have no idea what I would do with out you. You saved me. Thank you. *bow*.
Chapter 13: You can't have everything you want.
Lily and James walked slowly through the corridors in uneasy silence. Finally James choose to speak.
"What were you thinking about?"
"When, in the common room or just now?"
"I had the common room on my mind but you could tell me about just now too."
"Well I was thinking of Remus and you a bit." She shoot him a small and shy smile.
"About us? Like why do I even have to know those people?" He teased with a huge confident grin playing on his lips.
"Yeah that too. I was wondering how come did Remus got to be a Marauder. I mean he is the most polite person I ever meet and warm too and you guys seem to be a bit cold hearted sometimes." She said referring to him and Sirius. James became a bit uneasy. Was that what she thought of us? - He thought - Does she think Remus is better then him? Or maybe she just fancies Remus a bit? He shivered at that thought
"Remus has a mischief side not many people know of." Lily nodded.
"Can I ask you something?" Lily said after a long pause.
"Sure why not?" He was grinning but when he saw Lily's serious face it faded a little. He just hope she wasn't going to ask him about Remus.
"Why do you keep asking me out?" He was shocked a bit.
"Well, if I was annoying the crap out of you then you will eventually say yes to get me off."
"Ok I know that but really?"
"You want to know?" They already reached the bank of the lake.
"Yeah, I do" Ok here it goes - he thought.
"I lo.like you" He was such an ass. It was just three simple words. Three damn words. Simple words. He was such a coward. Why did the sorting hat even placed me in Gryffindor? He should place me in Huplepuff with all those cowards. - He thought.
"And because of that you chased after me for two years?" She did not believe him.
"Look the giant squid woke up!" He said trying to change the subject.
"Hmmm." Lily looked at the lake where indeed the giant squid was playing with something that looked like a huge plank of wood.
"My greatest rival."
"Rival, why?"
"Don't tell me you don't remember?" He said disbelievingly.
"Let me think."
"I will give you one clue fifth year straight after the OWLs" Then she laughed.
"How could I forget?" They started walking a bit faster talking about "good old times". Even the times that James thought of rather humiliating. Like when she turned him into a pink rabbit or when she showed the girls his favorite boxers with pink hearts on them. Suddenly something bumped right into them. Both of them rolled to the ground. James couldn't stop rolling. Then finally he rolled of the tin cliff straight into the freezing lake.
"James!!" Lily called desperately. She totally forgot about her aching hand or bruised knee. She raced to the cliff. James trying to swim, but it was hard with the giant squid throwing things at him.
"James don't worry I will call some just hold on there ok?" She shouted. She looked around. No teacher was to be seen. From where she was standing she could see a bunch of Slytherins laughing their heads off. She cast last glance at the struggling James and run off towards the castle.
"Professor Flitwick!!!" She potted him at the very entrance to the mighty castle "James fell into the lake and the giant squid is throwing things at him!"
"Oh dear, ohh dear I will call Professor McGonagall and Mr. Darvick and you go to cheer him up a bit" She was a bit shocked by Professor Flitwick's answer but took a run towards the lake again. When she finally reached it in two minutes that seemed to last ages, she saw that he couldn't hold up much longer. Just then she saw McGonagall running to her with Flitwick right behind her. Then saw Mr. Darvick running too but he seemed a bit lost. Professor McGonagall waved her wand a few times and then had Professor Flitwick help her a bit and made James float in the air dripping wet.
"Lily dear are you alright?" Mr. Darvick asked and she didn't even bother to answer as James floated right next to Mr. Darvick. She quickly run to his side (AN sounds like on of those creepy romance novels doesn't it?).
"James are you alright?" James moaned a bit.
~~~~~~~~ A day later
The whole school knew about the "accident" and most people blamed the Slytherins. There were some occasional jealous cases who though Lily pushed him into there. Things got a bit quieter with him gone and most of the school had fallen into a funeral mood and it wasn't even a day that James has gotten into all this. The hospital wing was full of get well cards but many of them landed in a bit straight after he got them, especially those from people like Helga and other Huplepuffs. Lily decided to go and see how is he doing on lunch.
"Hey James! Can I come in?" James was shocked. He recognized that voice everywhere. He took a good look around room. Then made a small peek I the mirror and tried to cam his hair a bit.
"Sure"
"Hi" She said in a shy voice.
"Hi Lily! I was wondering when you would came."
"Really?"
"Yeah"
"Do you mind?" She said pointing at a small chair right next to the bed.
"Not at all." With his huge ago that was coming back a huge grin went to his lips.
"James listen if there is anything I can do to help or make you feel better just tell me and I will do it."
"Promise?" She hesitated for a while.
"Promise"
"Well, to make me feel better you could certainly do a small thing for me." He said
"Which is."
"Simple"
"But what is it?"
"You can kiss me" A huge grin became even bigger if that was possible
"No, no and no" She shook her head and backed away a bit.
"You promised!" He caught her in a trap with no way out.
But kissing you won't help you in anyway:" she reasoned
"Yeah but it would make me feel better" A trap yet again.
"But."
"You promised Lily" He said with puppy dog eyes.
"Ohh fine but on a cheek."
"Cheek?! You are not my sister Lily!"
"I know I am not."
"Ohh come on just a little friendly kiss on the lips?!" He was killing her.
"A tiny one?"
"Fine" He moved away a bit making some space for her to sit on the bed. She leaned in and it that exact moment Sirius stormed into the hospital wing. He looked around. Lily jumped off James' bed.
"Ohh sorry I am disturbing something?"
"No, no I was just leaving." Lily said just a little too quickly. She stood up.
"Lily you don't have." James didn't get to finish his sentence as Lily wasn't there anymore.
"Sorry mate" Sirius said. James didn't say anything for a while. He was looking at the spot that Lily was standing.
"It's ok. Let's just hope she will not forget."
"I will make sure of that!" Sirius stated. James looked seriously at Sirius.
"Just don't do anything stupid ok?"
"What you mean as stupid? Will playing a tiny prank on her considered as stupid?"
"Yes it will and don't.just don't do anything to make her cry."
"Ok I will not" in a teasing manner.
"I mean seriously not as a joke."
"Ok. Ok. I know"
"Good. I was just making sure."
"James?"
"Yeah?"
"Can we for a minute talk about something else then Lily?" He made a puppy dog face to him. James laughed a bit.
"Sure, why not."
"We were planning this huge prank on Snape since we didn't do one well for that whole year and it will be kind of nice if we finally did something too keep up our title."
"Ok so what's that plan?"
"We were planning to start originally but then we could ."
~~~~~~~~~ (I know I am evil) ~~~~~~~~~to Lily.
"Arabella?!"
"Yup Lils what's up?"
"When is the girls-night?"
"In two day Lily. You should know that you set it up. What's up with your cheeks?" Ara was getting suspicious.
"Yeah Lils what's with your cheeks?" Lily blushed even in more carmison color on her cheeks she turned towards the dorms.
"I.I am gone go to the . dorms"
"Oh no you don't" Ara said and caught Lily's arm.
"You owe us an explanation."
"But.sleep. I need to go to sleep."
"Yeah right" Ela's voice was filled with sarcasms.
"Ohh come on Lily."
"No"
"Please!"
"No"
"Pretty please!"
"With a cherry on top" Ela made puppy dog eyes to her.
"Ohh. All right"
"Well.?"
"I went to go and visit James in the hospital wing," Ara started giggling and Lily send her a death glare. "I went there and well since I probably was the target of the Slytherins I was kind of feeling guilty about this whole incident. Especially when the whole school made it look like he was all ready dead. Well I went there and said that if there was anything I could do at all to help him or make him feel better I would do it. And he made me promise and I was in a trap."
"What did he want?"
"He didn't make you go to bed with him did he?" Ara was getting a bit scared.
"No he just wanted . he wanted a kiss"
"So I suspect you gave it to him?"
"No"
"No?" Then why the blush.
"Lily you horny little girl?"
"I am not horny!"
"Well then how do you explain the blush?"
"I was just feeling."
"Horny?"
"No I was not feeling horny ok!" She shouted this out loud. Everyone looked at her in shock. Then Remus stood up and left.
"Err. Lily?"
"Yeah?
"Remus just left"
"Huh?"
"Do you realize that he might go to James and tell him about the little horny accident..."Ela said shyly. Ara was looking at Lily in horror.
"Ohh no! Should I go to James and explain this all?"
"No! No. It will make you look pathetic!"
"And even hornier"
"OK. I.I will be upstairs"
~~~~~To Remus who actually was going to James.
"James!"
"Yeah!"
"Lily has a tiny anger burst in the common room."
"What happened?" Sirius asked. James nodded in agreement.
"Well she was in the corner talking to Ela and Ara."
"Since when you call Arabella Ara?" Sirius asked with a teasing smile. Remus just ignored Sirius and carried on.
"And Lily burst out saying that she wasn't horny. Then she turned dark carmison. I think they were talking about something that happened here?"
"Or something that was about to happen if Sirius here didn't burst like a terrible maniac."
"Hey! I said I was sorry."
"Well we were this close" James made a movement with his hands that looked like their faces were just an inch apart.
"You can't have everything you want." Remus gave him a raw statement.
M*andy, luvin yah - I have no idea what I would do with out you. You saved me. Thank you. *bow*.
